Concept introduction:
ATP will work phosphorylation, breaking a reaction down into 2 energetically favored steps connected by a phosphorylated (phosphate-bearing) intermediate. This strategy is employed in several
Answer to Problem 10P
The equilibrium constant can then be calculated.
The equilibrium constant can then be calculated.
Explanation of Solution
Suppose that cellular respiration goes from glucose to
This is the same as
We cannot determine the equilibrium constants without knowing the
The above reaction is cellular respiration with no ATP synthesis rejoining.
Because
We can determine
The equilibrium constant can then be calculated.
The equilibrium constant can then be calculated.
Positive equilibrium constants for both reactions indicate that both are favorable under these conditions. The value of
The metabolic cost is 12 NADH and 18 ATP according to the stoichiometry of the metabolic pathway of
This is the same as
We cannot determine the equilibrium constants without knowing the

- Understanding the Oxidation of Glucose and Its Products in the TCA Cycle Glycolysis, the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction, and the TCA cycle result in complete oxidation of a molecule of glucose to CO2. Review the calculation of oxidation numbers for individual atoms in any molecule, and then calculate the oxidation numbers of the carbons of glucose, pyruvate, the acetyl carbons of acetyl-CoA. and the metabolites of the TCA cycle to convince yourself that complete oxidation of glucose involves removal of 24 electrons and that each acetyl-CoA through the TCA cycle gives up 8 electrons.arrow_forwardDetermine how many ATP are formed in the complete oxidation of 1 mole of succinate. Include the ATP produced during the electron transport chain. Explain the reasoning clearly, and express the answer as a range.arrow_forwardAdditional information: ATP production by the ETC and ATP Synthase per glucose varies somewhat depending on the energy required to move NADH into the mitochondria and other energy uses for the hydrogen-ion gradient. Additional questions: 1.) How many ATP's are generally yielded by oxidative phosphorylation from the catabolism of one glucose? 2.) Summarize the total ATP's obtained from a single molecule of glucose, from start to finish? asaparrow_forward
- Determine the total yield of ATP for the complete oxidation of 1 molecule of 3-phosphoglycerate. Show the work and reasoning, and indicate how many ATP, NADH, and FADH2 are formed and in which steps. Include ATP produced in the electron transport chain. Express the answer as a rangearrow_forwardEnzymes normally enhance the rates of biochemical reactions by preferentially binding and stabilizing the transition states rather than either the substrates or the products of a reaction. The F|-subunit of ATP synthase does not fit this norm so well as tight binding to ATP rather than a transition state is employed to make ATP. Explain the binding-change model of the mechanism of ATP-synthase. How and why is the proton-motive force used in the reaction cycle of ATP synthase?arrow_forwardCalculate the biochemical standard cell potential for the oxidation of NADH by molecular oxygen O2 + 2NADH + 2 H+ → 2H2O + 2NAD+arrow_forward
- "Anaerobic glycolysis" (the conversion of glucose all the way to two lactate molecules) results in no net production of NADH. True or False- whyarrow_forwardATP Synthase is known to catalyze the synthesis of ATP with a ΔG°’ close to zero, and a Keq' close to 1. Why is the value of ΔG°’ different from the known value which is 30.5 kJ/mol (the energy for the reverse of ATP hydrolysis)? If the Keq' value is close to one, how is it ensured that the reaction is driven to the product side and more ATP is obtained?arrow_forward
